Cardiff kept up their unbeaten run under Lennie Lawrence with a win at Colchester.

Spencer Prior scored the only goal of the game, firing the ball into the roof of the net in the 19th minute after a shot from Daniel Gabbidon hit the crossbar.

It was Prior's second goal of the season and the Welshmen had the first-half edge despite losing recent £1m signing Andy Campbell with a leg injury.

Colchester had most of the second-half play but had only one real chance of an equaliser when Adrian Coote headed inches over the crossbar.
